Once again Creative Minds Children Services
need to call upon the generosity of community to assist a family in need
As a community we are asking for a contribution in the way of time and talent.
We are sponsoring a family trip to Cape Breton for a Mom who was recently
diagnosed with stage four cancer. Her wishes are to spend time with family and
extended family. The trip serves as a dual purpose; to say good bye and create
memories.
On July 15, 2017 we will host our annual picnic/barbecue and the funds we raise
as a business will solely go to this family.
We have a donated venue, a barbecue and volunteers. We need assistance with
talent or entertainment.
We will be publically acknowledging our donators as a sign of thank you for your
selfless act of community.

The time
has come again for the Justine Blainey Wellness Centre’s 4th
annual Children’s Health Festival. Our festival is taking place on Sunday
September 27th from 12:00pm-3pm and will be raising money for a
very worthy cause Child Find Ontario.

We are
looking for some one to face paint and possibly a balloon animal person to
help us out for 3 hours on Sept 27th. More information can be
found on our website on
www.blaineywellness.com. We are able to offer the option of helping you
to promote your business by including a flyer/information in our 500 loot
bags and if I am notified by Thursday (Sept 24th) we can also
include information on our ½ page ad in the Brampton Guardian.

Child Find
Ontario assists in locating missing children by education programs in
Ontario. They rely on the efforts of volunteers to help reunite these
children with their parents. Of the 66,548 cases of missing children
reported in 2005, Ontario has the highest proportion per capita at 22,503
missing children. They need our help.

Why this
event?

To raise awareness of
children’s health, wellness and safety in a fun and engaging approach.

Prevention is better than a cure!
By educating parents we can allow children of the future to grow up happy
and healthy.

To support community
programs of Child Find Ontario

Residual funds from
the event will go directly to Child Find

We hope
that you will be able to participate in our event to help promote the health
and safety of children! If you require additional information regarding the
festival, please feel free to contact me at any time.

Thank you!
Have a wonderful day!

Best
regards,

to raise money for The bereaved Families of Ontario, Hamilton/Burlington

organization that offers support services to parents and children after the

and a celebration of life which culminates with a butterfly release. Last
year we had over three hundred people attend, we released 200 individual
Monarch butterflies and raised over 30,000 dollars. We hope that this years
event will be just as, if not more successful as we are honored to have
Jamie West and Rebecca West (CHCH Television and 900 CHM) as our Honorary
Chair's for the day. Because of the high number of children we have
attending we are hoping for more children's entertainment, because we are a
fundraiser we hope to have most services donated. ?It would be wonderful to
have a magician to entertain the children between the walk and butterfly
release. If you have somebody that can help with this event in donating a
small amount of time on a Sunday morning, please let me know. Many thanks.

Hi

I was wondering if you can help us out for our event we are holding on the

THis Event is a Support the Troops Base Brats Reunion. We have many
volunteers putting this Event together and my task is handling the kids
events.
I am contacting you to ask If you would sponsor our Event. We are all
volunteers and what monies that are made are to be donated to MFRC.
Other companies are sponsoring us in the food, BBQ, table and chairs
department. We are in the midst of getting media coverage and radio stations
( for our music)
It would be greatly appreciated if you could contact me and let me know if
you could help us out, all companies sponsoring us will have their companies
logos, banners posted. THe less we spend the more we can donate.
THis Event is for August 25th, clowns needed from 1:30-4:00
Held at the Rockcliffe Military Base by invitation only.
Please reply A.s.a.p so we can look at other routes.

EcoSource and Greenbelt Local Food Youth are organizing a Kid’s Day, on

will be a parade with more than 40 entries, including military marching

Meadowest Cooperative
Preschool is
located in the heart of Meadowvale. Situated in the Meadowvale Community
Centre, the pre-school provides children with a variety of play centres
which enhance their social, physical, emotional and intellectual skills in
a safe, secure and happy environment.

In our continued efforts
to provide our children with the best possible introduction to school, we
rely on fundraising events to supplement the overall operation of the
preschool.

On Saturday, October
28th, 2006, we are hosting our Annual Trike-a-Thon and Silent
Auction. At the trike-a-thon, students ride their favorite tricycle,
tractor, bike, etc… around a small track and collect sponsorship money for
doing their laps. The money raised from this event contributes to special
purchases for the school. This year, we are hoping to purchase badly
needed school supplies.

This will be a
carnival-themed atmosphere, and we are badly in need of a clown/face
painter from 10am - 1pm.

Unfortunately, being a
non-profit organization we have no budget for this type of thing, so in
other words, you wouldn't receive compensation - just the glory.

Volunteer entertainers to do balloon animals, face painting or magic tricks
would really add delight and fun to this very important fundraising event!
